    What's special

    Perched on a hill tucked away from the street, with a level backyard and surrounded by mature trees, this distinctive Essex Village home offers the best of both worlds-peaceful seclusion yet just moments from Main Street shops, restaurants, marinas, and waterfront. Inside, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere with wood floors throughout, a full bath on each level, and a wood-burning stove that adds character and comfort to the living spaces. Generous closets throughout, including a walk-in closet in the primary. The living/dining areas are complemented by an adjacent den, providing flexible space for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is well-appointed with a Wolf range, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and French doors that provide easy access to the outdoor spaces. Bathed in natural light, the generously sized sunroom features vaulted ceilings, walls of windows, radiant heated floors, and a ceiling fan - creating a bright and inviting space to relax in every season. Further adding to the property's appeal is a detached garage with an additional 192 sq/feet of finished living space perfect for a home office, artist's studio, guest overflow or fitness room. Low-maintenance vinyl siding, a whole-house Generac generator, Buderus boiler and an ADT security system provide added convenience, comfort, and peace of mind. (see full list of improvements in attachments). This enchanting home feels like a hidden retreat, yet keeps you connected to everything that makes Essex village one of the shoreline's most sought after locations.
